Add a function to transcript MAPDL commands to PyMAPDL ones

clatapie commented 1 year ago

Description of the feature

Create a basic function which transpose the MAPDL commands into PyMAPDL ones in a Python file. The output file may need to be modified but the majority of the commands will have been translated.

Examples:

ET,9,SOLID185 --> mapdl.et('9', 'SOLID185')
MPDATA,EX,1,,200e3 --> mapdl.mpdata('EX', '1','','200e3') # warning: this command may require modifications

Steps for implementing the feature

[ ] Create Python file and start MAPDL as a service
[ ] Read the MAPDL input file and translate the commands into PyMAPDL ones
[ ] Add warnings to the MAPDL commands that may be problematic (refer to Example 2)
[ ] Exit MAPDL as a service

Out of curiosity, isn't it what convert_script() and convert_apdl_block() do?

I didn't know those commands, I will take a look at them. Thank you @pmaroneh !
